Skittle Injury

[SlipperTripper]

Public service announcement - big orange skittles are absolute arseholes.

I have been very impressed with the new big Skittles, and was merrily munching a bag in the car today.

One of the bastards (I think it was a orange, they're my least favourite so I'll going to blame them) has sliced my tongue open, right across the tip.

It REALLY fucking hurts, and DP and DSDs think it's hilarious that I have managed to injure myself on a round sweet. I don't think they're taking this AT ALL seriously... 😌

I limped my way through my jacket spud tonight, now I'm not enjoying my tea, and it's all that bastard skittles fault.

I thought it was only fair to warn the world. Munch at your peril, my friends.

Omg this is the funniest post I have ever read on mumsnet!!!! Even more so as we are also munching away on giant skittles!!! We will ensure we eat them with careful consideration and hope you survive another day!! 🤣🤣🤣

Had to open this to find out if you were talking about the sweets or the game.

Sorry you're in pain but thanks for giving us a laugh!

ps. there are very few foods I won't eat if put in front of me but I really don't understand the love for Skittles. They don't taste that good and just get stuck in your teeth!

I choked on some skittles when I was 8 after a ballet class.

Coughed so hard lumpy skittle juice came out of my nose.

Hated the little rainbow coloured buggers since.

Wait , what ! they make giant skittles ? do they do giant sour ones ?

looks around hopefully

@NinDS for gods sake, be careful!

@AlCalavicci they do. M&S petrol station. Although I dread to think the sheer wall-climbing AGONY if sour skittle juice was in the mix. And added danger for family too. They're already at risk of pulling their eye muscles from too much rolling...

Well I wasn't expecting that I have to say.

What the feck are you on @HarisPorthsmond1964 !

@HarisPorthsmond1964 too many Skittles?

The only time I've had skittles as an adult is with vodka, you're doing it wrong im afraid @SlipperTripper

Now let me tell you about giant orange Smarties buttons. By fuck are they good.

I know this is isn't AIBU but YABVVVVU.

Orange Skittles are the best ones and not surprised one hurt you if you don't agree. This is the hill I will die on.

(Sorry you're hurt though)

@SlipperTripper , aww I dont have a M&S near me , ah but hang on my Db does and I am seeing him at weekend .
I promise I will chew them very carefully to ensure no injures are sustained as you are right putting sourness into the mix would be very painful

Ha Ha @HarisPorthsmond1964
go poof

thanks MNHQ

@Livpool nooo, the rest are just palate cleansers for the purple and red!!

@TheCanyon giant orange smarties buttons, you say? I recently discovered Dairy Milk Orange which is brilliant, as everyone else here is allergic to orange so it's unnickable. But smarties buttons would add a certain something...

@SlipperTripper you like the purple ones?! I'm out.

Sorry but you brought this on yourself

Purple ones are awful so are purple Opal fruits.

DH just asked me why I looked confused, and looked at me really weirdly when I said 'I think I'm the only person who likes purple skittles'.

Apparently I sounded really sad 😂

Clearly, today has been an emotional rollercoaster.

Orange dairy milk? I'm on the last of my mars multipack, guess what I'm buying tomorrow? Bet this shit wee town don't sell them. I am allergic to Orange too but there ain't no allergy separating me from Orange chocolate, yet...

Ok who loves . . . .
skittles >> raises hand > raises hand > jumps up and down , me me me sits back down a bit embarrassed

I once had a polo injury. I dropped my packet of polos, slipped on them and fell down the concrete steps I was on. I still have a scar on my leg. I do call it my polo injury. Makes me sound well posh. Till I elaborate.

Sweetie fuckers.

I love purple and red skittles @SlipperTripper. You are not alone!
